HollywoodIsJusttheTipoftheIceberg: Diversity and Discrimination as Ethical Concerns
Allegations of sexual harassment have been levied against some of the most powerful men in the country. Now lawyers
risk disbarment if they harass or discriminate in the workplace as the Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(g) was
recently expanded to prohibit conduct that a lawyer knows or reasonably should know of harassment or discrimination. This
panel will examine discrimination, diversity and inclusion as ethical obligations, and also explore eliminating discrimination
and encouraging inclusion, both in the practice of law and in attorney’s hiring and retention practices.

10:15 AM WhyHousingThatIsAffordableIsSo
DifficulttoBuildinSouthernCaliforniaHear varied and conflicting answers to the question of “why is it difficult to build affordable housing in Los Angeles?” The experienced panel begins with a comparison of market rate and tax-credit assisted housing, explaining why “affordable”
housing costs so much more to build than market rate housing. Panelists will then offer their conflicting views on many of the widely advocated prescriptions to make
housing more affordable. Mike Gatto notes the folly in labeling as affordable an apartment that costs nearly
$400,000 per unit to build. Citing Manhattan as an example, he also doubts that greater zoning densities would
increase housing supply and decrease housing prices and rents in places like the coastal cities. Instead, he advocates
that “affordable” housing should be built in such places as the Inland Empire and the Central Valley where housing
costs are reasonable and job bases are growing.

HowBesttoManagetheLatestClimate ChangeHurdlesPlacedintheWayof
NewDevelopmentinCaliforniaTo advance the goals of climate change legislation by
reducing GHG emissions, state law now tilts in favor of developments located in already built-up areas that are
well served by public transportation while attempting to impede the construction of auto-dependent projects upon
which the growth and prosperity of southern California’s six counties, 191 cities and nearly 18,000,000 residents have
long relied.
Charles Tourtellotte, President and CEO of the L.A.-based LaTerra Development Company, demonstrates
the benefits to his firm’s approach of strategically acquiring developed infill sites that can be entitled for new uses so as to maximize returns, while minimizing risks. LaTerra’s SoCal
mixed-use projects range in size from 50-550 multifamily units together with associated retail/commercial uses.
MichaelAlvarado, Chief Legal Officer of FivePoint Communities, describes the Newhall Ranch, a planned community of 20,500 housing units over 20 years—the
largest in Los Angeles County, and how they assessed its political and CEQA-based risks. Newhall Ranch was put on hold by the California Supreme Court opinion in Center for
Biological Diversity v. California Department of Fish and Wildlife
George Mihlsten, a partner from Latham & Watkins, counseled Newhall to settle the lawsuit by proposing a
mitigation plan that GHG emissions from the Newhall project would not exceed those of the oil and agricultural
uses previously being conducted on the site. He describes the main points of the settlement and its implications.
DavidPettit, staff attorney for NRDC, anticipates how the Newhall ‘net zero GHG’ settlement could be used by project
challengers as a precedent demonstrating its feasibility, and what this would mean to developers and homebuilders.

DriverlessCarsontheFutureofRealEstateWe’re at a watershed moment in the design of our future cities,
and it’s all due to driverless cars. No other innovation will impact the urban landscape and the ways people experience cities as
thoroughly in the coming years. Gensler Co-CEO Andy Cohen explores the capabilities of driverless cars and how the technology will begin to introduce huge societal shifts – taking our city streets
back for people; creating vibrant, amenity-rich communities; displacing jobs in the transportation industry; and reshaping
how and where people live, work and play. He outlines important impacts on the future of building design that are already being implemented as cities and city-builders get ready for change.

RetailR/Evolution:How Shopping Malls and Big Box Retailers Are Adapting to the New Realities of Retail
The much-reported demise of bricks-and-mortar retail is at odds with the views of some of the most forward-thinking real estate
professionals operating in this space. Rather, the changing retail landscape has set the stage for a new round of innovation and development that seeks to exploit the opportunities of the re-
envisioned retail experience. Come hear how our panel of experts are reusing and repurposing malls and big box locations to take
advantage of these opportunities. We will also explore how, in some cases, such adaptation means leaving retail behind.
